Our Thoughts about The Breakers Palm Beach

Endless Summer Florida has been to many different economy, moderate and luxury hotels throughout Florida and feel that The Breakers Palm Beach is at the very top of the list of luxury resort properties.  

The location is one of the best directly on the Atlantic Ocean in Palm Beach.  There is so much to do from the beach to pools, golf, tennis and fine dining.  If you choose  to go outside of the property, Worth Avenue, the Kravis Center and downtown West Palm Beach are just a short distance away. 

While not an inexpensive hotel, you get everything from a magnificent property, world-class amenities and exceptional service.
